Hua Hin & Cha Am Hash House HarriersRUN, WALK, OR CRAWL!
Every week the Hash House Harriers meet up at a new location for a 1 hour run/walk/crawl around the wilds of Hua Hin/Cha Am followed by an hour's drinking and socialising (All in for 150Baht for drinkers, 100 for non-drinkers) those who wish then move on to a local eatery to continue the party.

The Runners trail is normally 6-8 Kms long (Depending on terrain) while the walkers trail is normally between 3-5 Kms. The group is very much of a social club, with an emphasis on having fun and exploring our surroundings.

We're not some ultra-fit runners club, we're a group ranging in ages between 2 and 72 who enjoy getting muddy and drinking a few beers (Well, not the 2 year olds, obviously)

If you're interested--join us. If you need help getting there, or any additional information please contact one of the Mis-Management committee from the websites:

What a seedy looking lot!... especially that 5th one from the left kneeling in the front row in the first photo. Looks like an old American squid!

Seriously though, I even got out there with these guys for a couple of months. If you need/want a little exercise in the outback (and can take the heat) and a lot of socializing with a great bunch of folks, give them a try. Very nice, fun group, (especially the old American squid ).

My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?
